This 2009 documentary, directed by Robert Greene and written by Ando Arike, surveys the secret history of weather modification in the United States, from early rainmaking experiments by figures like Charles Hatfield to contemporary geoengineering proposals amid climate change. It follows scientists, policymakers, and innovators attempting to harness or combat weather extremes, blending character-driven narratives with ethical and political debates on human intervention in natural systems. Through interviews and archival material, the film questions whether controlling the weather is now essential for planetary survival, highlighting projects like cloud seeding, hurricane mitigation, and solar radiation management while addressing unintended consequences and governance challenges.
